Post Malone’s Beerbongs & Bentleys sophomore album just dropped on Friday (Apr. 27), and it’s already making an impact on the streaming charts.

Lead by the Billboard smashes “Rockstar” and “Psycho,” Beerbongs & Bentleys was streamed 47.9 million times on the first day. It breaks J. Cole’s K.O.D. (64.5m streams), which previously held the record last week.

Beerbongs & Bentleys also breaks the same record for worldwide streams, as it was played a whopping 78.7 million on its release day. The album features guest appearances by Nicki Minaj, Ty Dolla $ign, G-Eazy, YG, Swae Lee of Rae Sremmurd, and 21 Savage.

Just hours after trolling the music world, Kanye West actually returns with a real track. Premiered by the L.A. Leakers on Power 106, Yeezy debuts “Ye vs. the People.” The song, featuring T.I. as the people, finds Kanye attempting to explain his controversial tweets over the past week. Kanye and Tip go back-and-forth on the track, with T.I. giving his rebuttals to some of Ye’s puzzling thoughts on President Donald Trump, and other social issues. In the end, the two agree to disagree.

UPDATE: Like “Lift Yourself,” “Ye vs. the People” is now officially out on all streaming services and iTunes.
